My vote is Israel -> NATO
Hezbollah -> The keystone kops over at the UN
Honestly, the Marx Brothers could have done better than some of the UN’s "peacekeeping forces." Rwanda anyone? |

If only the same contempt would be held for the Bush Administration’s post invasion Iraq.
Talk about “keystone kops”.
All Bush needs to do is award Kofi Annan the Medal of Freedom and all actors involved would be screaming for NATO.

Feeling your pain, Pogue. You never know about that Medal of Freedom. Stranger things have happened. |

Sigh. Yes, Mr. Mahone, Kerry would have been a much better choice. Then we could all be currently piously wondering why "diplomacy" was not more effective in the ME and shuffling along to a modern version of the holocaust at the hands of the jihadists.
Instead, we have grappled with the problem and our learning curve (admittedly at some cost) is progressing nicely. If your ilk is clever enough, you can learn (something that would not have been possible if the failed policies of the past had been continued) how to actually deal with problems in the ME and put forth some leaders who can be effective in dealing with same. I, myself, could admire and support a movement that would be clever enough to do that - even while they are decrying the indadequacy of the Bush administration, the source of the learning.
Unfortunately, your ilk represents [apparently] the slowest learners around. Even the Bushies are quicker. Sad. But, hey, hang in there. I think you are ridiculous for praising a perfect nothing instead of a problematic something...or have you put forth some alternatives other than "Kerry could have done better" or "diplomacy is better" or other similar vacuous, failed policies? |

Robert, I’ve challenged them before, and gotten nowhere. As I mentioned in comments on those threads, their unwillingness to offer alternatives or metrics for what they would consider success means they’re just carping. They want the respect of being seen as serious debaters on the topic of the Iraq conflict, but they do not want the responsibility for laying out any position that would be exposed to comparison against the real world.
So I give their point of view no respect. Until they are ready to move beyond carping and offer something of substance to say, they don’t deserve any. |

Sigh. Yes, Mr. Mahone, Kerry would have been a much better choice. Uh…!? Mr. Fulton. Why would holding contempt for the Bush administration’s failures in Iraq equal an endorsement for the Jr. Senator from Massachusetts?Then we could all be currently piously wondering why "diplomacy" was not more effective in the ME and shuffling along to a modern version of the holocaust at the hands of the jihadists. So, what you are saying is that if Kerry were elected, we would have a modern holocaust on our hands? Possess supernatural powers, do we Mr. Fulton. Wow.
I think you are ridiculous for praising a perfect nothing instead of a problematic something...or have you put forth some alternatives other than "Kerry could have done better" or "diplomacy is better" or other similar vacuous, failed policies?
Huh!?
What are you smoking, man? You’ll be kind enough to point to where I “praised” anything. You’ll be kind enough to point out where I stated that, “Kerry could have done better” or “diplomacy is better”. Won’t you, Mr. Fulton? You will be kind enough to do that.
This is exactly the problem. People like Mr. Fulton cannot accept criticism of the current administration without conflating that criticism with some sort of endorsement for John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, Michael Moore, etc. etc.
And as for ideas, I’ve got a few. Starting with the resignation of the SoD.
